At this point, it seems very difficult to argue that President George W. Bush will not go down in history as the worst president ever. I'm not going to restate what has been restated so many times. We all know the standing this country had in January 2001 compared to what it has now. Economically, Militarily, Politically, Existentially, the United States has taken a substantial blow.

I think it is important to make a sober assessment of the past 8 years and to make sure that this story is remembered for future generations. Which is why I propose that when Bush dies, we create a George W. Bush memorial to go somewhere prominently in the National Mall in DC. On the monument, we have two things and two things only. They would be reminders of the two biggest (and you know they must have been big) mistakes of the last 8 years.

The first thing to go on the monument is the headline from the Washington Post this morning. "The End of American Capitalism?". Can you imagine being told in 2001 that this would be the headline on the Washington Post after 8 years of having the first President with an MBA? And by the way, the Harvard Business school should be shut down and demolished for giving this guy a degree. I believe Bush's "Ownership Society" will go down in American history as the most botched, poorly executed domestic program in the history of the country.

The only other thing on our George W. Bush Memorial monument would be a tribute to that great other mistake. A mistake so massive that it helped to not only weaken the American Economy, it also destroyed the American brand. The 'Shining beacon of light on a hill' seems to have been extinguished because of it. The second thing on the Memorial would simply be the statement "Mission Accomplished".
